‘Morrie’ Writer Mitch Albom On Second Chances

Albom's 2025 novel, ‘Twice,’ asks a question most of us have daydreamed about: what if you could go back and relive any moment of your life? In the book, a man is born with that exact power, but every second chance comes with a cost. Albom talks with Tonya Mosley about his new book, and the lasting influence of Morrie Schwartz, his old college professor who died in 1995 of ALS. Nearly 30 years ago, Albom chronicled their weekly visits in his bestselling book ‘Tuesdays With Morrie.’ Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices NPR Privacy Policy

Asterix and the Roman Agent by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo

Merry Christmas! Join Andy and Una, plus authors Louie Stowell and Robert Shearman, for a post-solstice celebration of Asterix and the Roman Agent (1972) by René Goscinny (words) and Albert Uderzo (pictures), first published in France in 1970 as La Zizanie, and freely translated into English by Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge. Christmas was a festival unknown to the residents of the little Gaulish village, whose adventures took place circa 50 BC. Few childhood Christmases of the 1970s and 80s were complete, however, without one or more Asterix adventures under the tree, so we do our best to mention every single one in this episode. We hear an archive interview with Goscinny and Uderzo themselves, and delve into the history behind the history of one the most successful comic strips in history. In addition, this is probably the most visual episode of Backlisted to date, so it's just as well we filmed it - the video is available on YouTube, and contains all manner of special treats. May we take this opportunity to thank you for your support in 2025, by Toutatis, and wish you all a magic potion-fuelled Christmas and New Year. *For £150 off any Serious Readers HD Light and free UK delivery use the discount code: BACK at seriousreaders.com/backlisted * To purchase any of the books mentioned in this episode please visit our bookshop at uk.bookshop.org/shop/backlisted where all profits help to sustain this podcast and UK independent bookshops. * For information about everything mentioned in this episode visit www.backlisted.fm *If you'd like to support the show and join in with the book chat, listen without adverts, receive the show early and get extra bonus fortnightly episodes and original writing, become a patron at www.patreon.com/backlisted *You can sign up to our free monthly newsletter here Learn more about your ad choices.

ВАФИН 68: Феномен эмиграции. Почему в Европе так, а у нас эдак.

Расхаживаем важно как павлины по таджикским городам, базарам и обсуждаем эмиграцию. Путь нам озаряет хорошая толстая книга Пола Коллиера "Исход". Кому выгодна эмиграция в нынешнем виде? Куда нужно уезжать русскому неумехе, а куда русскому профи. Почему Европу массово заселяют бангладешцы и сирийцы, но не русские. Какие колодцы в Африке заплеванные, а какие чистенькие и причём тут национализм. Мозаика идентичностей и почему твой предок из 18-го века тебя бы своим не назвал никогда. Почему выражение: "я на 1/8 поляк" - не имеет никакого смысла. И главное: что такое нигерийская мораль. Феномен суперзлодеев. И как мы коснулись этого через сожженые кнопки лифтов в 90-е. Почему диаспоры становятся радикальнее, чем их родина. И многое другое, включая шаржи, побасёнки и всякие словесные кучевареселы. В общем, набросимся на эмиграцию и с левой, и с правой стороны.

And Then There Were 39: One, Two, Buckle My Shoe by Agatha Christie

While a trip to the dentist with Agatha Christie is the only trip to the dentist one might actually enjoy, we are sad to report our enjoyment of this novel was somewhat sullied by the incompleteness of the puzzle mystery therein. Thank goodness for Inspector Japp, who makes his final appearance in a Poirot novel in these pages, and who does not disappoint on screen either, as brought to life by the talented Philip Jackson.

And Then There Were 54: Lord Edgware Dies by Agatha Christie

This one is a little controversial! In a few different ways. Join us for a rollicking discussion of our latest Poirot novel, including such topics as: feminist literary theory (and whether it has a place in the interpretation of this text), and our first instance of (a subtextual, yet heavily implied) homophobia.... Oh, and there's also David Suchet playing (gasp) Inspector Japp!
